From the README:

"I have already tried SoundCloud, I have created a website, I have uploaded lyrics to Genius, and have even had some traction talking to the good nerds at HN. But, as a tinkerer, I still wasn't satisfied. This album is by essence a big challenge to the status quo..."

I can see how you might think you've created a "world's first" if your concept of music distribution is SoundCloud, websites and Genius. But I think you would very much enjoy learning how wrong you are in this case, since there is a huge world of generative / procedural / computer / algorithmic waiting for you. Here are some random points of interest:

- RjDj, 2008, iOS App, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RjDj - various founders and employees of RjDj can be found at: https://enzienaudio.com/ http://reactifymusic.com/ http://www.mogees.co.uk/ http://hearapp.io/

- Some books: Sonic Interaction Design https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/sonic-interaction-design, The Sonification Handbook (free!) http://sonification.de/handbook/, Designing Sound (look for the author's procedural audio lectures on YT) https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/designing-sound

- http://toplap.org - lots of free software projects for making live music and visuals with code (plus loads of artists in this community have been releasing interactive music for decades ;)
